I work for a group of international colleges (teaching foreign students English), and one of our English teachers at our London colleges has been writing a series of blogs about slang, idioms and suchlike. I've been creating illustrations for these articles, a portrait 'thumbnail' with explanatory words, and a main landscape image without the words to display on the article page. It's been fun.
Food metaphors
Beauty metaphors
Compliments and insults
Register (Formal/Informal)
Words for when you can't think of the word (yet to be published)
Weather related idioms
Body metaphors
They've also been doing a 'word of the week' feature on the Facebook page, where various members of staff pick their favourite word and I illustrate it.
Here are a few!
I picked bottom. Obvs.
